On Friday, Jake Gyllenhaal hit the Santa Barbara International Film Festival looking all gentleman-y and stuff.

Nice Humprey Bogart look, Jakeypoo!

Poo Poo actually sports the same old school style in Jamie Foxx's new music video.

We likes!

Just when things are starting to go well for Britney Spears, we have to hear of those douchebags - Osama Lutfi and Adnan Ghalib - again.

Thankfully, though, Spears has just obtained a restraining order against the two fucktards!

BritBrit's attorneys even went to court this morning to get the injuction.

An inside source says that Brit asked her conservators to "protect her from Sam and Adnan." Adding that Brit also told her conservators she was afraid of the two and wants them locked up in jail.

Reports are that Lufti and Ghalib apparently conspired to try and undermine her conservatorship "in a way that would have been extremely harmful to her."

Lutfi's attorney, Jon Eardley is apparently tied in to the conspiracy as well.

What shit were those douchebags planning?????

The Smithsonian in D.C. has asked Aretha Franklin if she would part with her (in)famous Luke Song hat to be part of President Obama’s Inaugural display. The display will also include Michella Obama's ball gown.

But the Queen of Soul is hesitant, saying, "I am considering it. It would be hard to part with my chapeau since it was such a crowning moment in history. I would like to smile every time I look back at it and remember what a great moment it was in American and African-American history."

We know that we smile every time we look at her and her hat!

Obama effect?

On Friday, the Republican National Committee appointed Michael Steele, a former Maryland lieutenant governor, as its chairman.

He is the first African American to hold this post.

Interesting choice.

If the party was not in peril of being totally irrelevant or if there was no Obama, would Mr. Steele's selection have happened?

Thoughts?

From the inner sleeve of Morrissey's new single, I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris."

Nice 7"!

We guess that even just the word "porno" is enough to offend some folks, because Wal-Mart told Kevin Smith that if he wants to sell the DVD release of Zack and Miri Make a Porno at their stores, the word "porno" must be removed from the cover.

So, there's no "porno" at Wal-Mart, but there are guns…and lots of Slutty Cyrus merchandise.

Kevin Smith, who's faced a string of obstacles with his naughty-named flick, said, "I'm just so shocked that the word 'porno' meant that much to people in terms of, like, they found it insanely offensive and don't want to see it on display."

Smith complied, however, not without some concern for folks who might be misled by the new innocuous title.

Kevin admits that the film does "include nudity, vulgar content, and colourful language," but has insisted that almost all of it is for the laughs, not the sexy times.

It looks like the once semi-famous (at least D+ list) group Danity Kane is no longer in existence.

We blame Aubrey O'Day!

One of DK's members is speaking out about the whole situation. And it isn't famewhore Aubrey!

Dawn Richard tells MTV that "As of right now, [Danity Kane doesn't exist]. It's devastating for me."

She also says not to expect O'Day, D. Woods, or Shannon Bex on the next season of Making the Band.

Richard added, "You'll see me and Drea [Aundrea Fimbres] try and pick up the pieces on our own [on this season's show] — pieces that we didn't even make. We didn't even break it and we're trying to sweep it up ourselves. Puff invited all the girls to come back on this season and they chose not to. Only two of us showed up. That's fine if that's the choice."

Awww, how heartbreaking.

Do you hear the violins???

But Richard continues, "It changes [our situation] completely. We have fans out there who love Danity Kane. We love Danity Kane. It's hard. We're sitting here trying to make sense of it now. It's hard. We're put in this position that we didn't ask to be in and we're being told to fix it."

The next season of the show premieres on February 12.

Doubt it'll get many viewers.
